Whoa, has it really been that long?!!

Ok, so we've been busy...really really busy!

Thanksgiving, birthday party, baby appts, christmas, the flu, colds, snow, amazing weather...you name it we've probably done it in the last month and a half! I'm officially at t-minus 5 weeks and counting, couldn't be less prepared, and since it's #3 it doesn't really bother me! All of the itty bitty clothes are still packed away in tote boxes, we have no bed for her to sleep in (praying she didn't lie to us and she's actually a girl!) there is no place in this house currently to PUT her clothes, hence the tote boxes, we have a first name...we think, middle is still up in the air...baby proof again? yeah, that's funny!! We're toddler proof, does that count? Oh yeah, and throw in a job switch and possible house sale in there and it about sums it up! 

So first things first...Sydney had an amazing birthday, one which she won't forget in the near future, between ChuckECheese and the fancy pool at the hotel her birthday was a definite hit this year, as opposed to the blizzard birthday (or no-birthday) of last year. Unfortunately this mommy failed, we were so busy the entire day I have 2 pictures of my birthday girl, and neither of them include her face! Chalk it up to fun and trying to keep track of 2 munchkins in a sea of munchkins I guess. 
That leads us into flu season...lemme tell you, flu and pregnancy don't play nice together....every single one of us ended up with the flu the week before christmas, right into christmas, makes for a super fun holiday! Following that it's only natural to fight colds, right? We're a month into that battle and hoping everyone is well by the middle of Feb in time for baby's arrival! 

Ok, now on to another fun trip for the girls. We took advantage of a not so nice day, daddy being gone for the day and the girls having nothing to do to road trip to see their favorite aunt and take in a new spot that the girls couldn't get enough of. Welcome to the children's museum in Brookings...thanks Jodi for the hint about having dry clothes with, cause not a single one of us left dry! I figured it was the best time to try it out, before I had an itty bitty to deal with too! We will definately be going back, I don't think a day has passed that we haven't talked about the museum at least twice...and Syd has daddy (aka Mr. Impatient) talked into trying it out too. 


She must have known what was in store for her, this was on the way to brookings that morning...a quick battery charge for the full day of play ahead. 









Yep, that's my baby at the ceiling...and you can barely make out auntie Caley...Haddie was the only one that would even go up in the clouds, Syd is super scared of heights. 










Leave it to my girls to leave with more water on them than any other kid that walked out of the water room...only Syd would wash her hair after taking a bath that morning, she's water obsessed!

Ok, there's an update...hopefully they'll be more frequent!
